Definitely not disagreeing with you there.

ME stood for Millenium Edition , the successor of win 98. CE was the embedded windows.

Thanks for the recommendation. I knew org-mode exists, but I’ve only ever used emacs for proof-assistants which have no other ide-support. I guess I should at least give it a try.

Does support internal links, md rendering and a useful search over all files without having to configure everything for three weeks? Because those features were what made me switch after a few years of just using vim.

Also having dynamic todo boxes on my daily notes, collected from all my ~1k notes.

Those are actual questions, not sarcasm, btw. I have never used nvim. I was under the impression it was more or less just vim.

It keeps my data in plain text files, integrates well with git and simply does the most things I always wanted a note taking application to do, when compared with anything else I have tried so far.

Yes, I would be happier with an open source application, but the first two are hard requirements for me, which already removes the majority of the alternatives.

On the other hand, I will never understand why anyone would use brave, given how shady the thing is.
